Probably no one thing has caused such
general revival of trade at Covert 81 Bartram's
Drug Store as their giving away to their Gus
toners of so many free trial bottles of DR..
Kings New Discovery for Consumption.
Their trade is simply enormous in this very
valuable article, from the fact that il always
cures and never hsappoints. Coughs, Colds,
Asthma, Bronchitis, Group and all throat
and lung diseases quickly cured. You can
test il before buying by getting trial bottle
free, large size 81. Every bottle warranted.

Curious Business Carried On BY Enter.
prtsing New Yorkorh
The increase n the auction business
leads to new specially known as 'sbid-
ders," says the New York correspondent
OF the Troy Times. Most men prefer to
keep their purposes secret, and, indeed, II
they are seen bidding others will be sure
to follow. Bidders are, ther eforc, very
useful class. and the following clipping,
extracted from morning paper, shows
the manner in which they seek business:
1--WE bid in anything you want at auc-
tion, thoroughly posted; references"
There are two methods adopted by bid
ders-one being mere bluff, while the 9TH
er il the Ramo Of perseverance. The bluff
er starts high-almost as high as his
mark-and thus scares off com petition,
while the others worry along with small
bids, and In this manner tire out their
competitore. lattended sale once where
. buffer carried OF a fine bargain in the
following manner: The property was
estimated 1t 5000, and when bid was
asked there were several ready to offer
from 81, 500 to $1,000. The buffer, how
ever, called out s., 900, and thus startled
the crowd. They thought the man must
be so excited that it would be Of no use to
compete, and the buffer got the property
for $500. 1t was sold soon afterward at
large advance. Every way, indeed, is
taken to manipulate auctions, and a Ii tile
ingenuity often produces good results.
Bidders are paid from IS to $50, and gen.
crally earn their money. Another method
is to pay people for not bidding. A very
shrewd real estate dealer Of my acquaint-
ance when he wants to make a purchase
endeav0rs to learn who will be likely to
compete with him. He then will pay
them to stay away. He once pointed out
to me house, adding: II got that at
auction for S. 900, but paid man 500 to
keep away from the sale" How many
curious ways people have Of getting bar
gains!

A FAMOUS DETECTIVE.

JAMES JACKSON, the famous State detect
i've, resides in Sing Sing, and is generally
in attendance at the prison. His duties are
to examine carefully the face Of every con-
vict as he enters, and to scrutinize every
visitor in order to prevent any discharged
convict seeing his pals. Occasionally he
has to make long journeys in pursuit of
runaway prisoners or to identify criminals
convicted in other States. He never makes
a mistake; if once he looks q man in the
eye he will know him under any disguise,
as he tells his man by the look Of his eyes.
Once an escaped convict had his nose pared
down one third, but jackson detected him
at once, notwithstanding this remarkable
change of feature. Mr.. Jackson is about
feet inches in height, about 35 years old,
Of light and sinewy build, with black hair
and piercing black eyes, and is altogether
remarkably handsome. He knows about
10. 600 criminals, and it is simply wonderful
that he can distinguish the features OF ey-
cry one. On his long journeys he eats very
moderately and always takes one Brand
reth pill at night. When much fatigued by
the jolting Of the cars on his tires ONE trips
he uses two Allcock's Porous Plasters on
the small Of the back, which give him re-
newed vigor and quickly relieve him Of all
WEAKNESS. These are the only two reme-
dies he uses, and he attributes his vigor and
remarkable health to Allcock's Porous
Plasters and Brandreth's Pills. Sing Sing,

How fresh in my mind are the days Of my sickness
When tossed me in pain. all fevered and sore;
The burning, the nausea, the sinking and weakness
And even the old spoon that my medicine bore.
The old silver spoon the family spoon,
The sick-chamber spoon that my medicine bore
How 10th were my fever-parched lips to receive It,
How nauseous the stun that it bore to my tongue
And the pain at my inwards, oh, naught could re-
heve 1t,
Though tears of disgust from my eyeballs 1t wrung
The old silver spoon, the medicine spoon,
How awful the stun that 1t left on my tongue.
